Christmas markets in Lübeck

Hanseatic Lübeck's medieval quarter (a UNESCO World Heritage site) is the perfect setting for a Christmas wonderland. To put you in festive mood, there are seasonal concerts in its five brick-built churches. Maritime Lübeck has no fewer than seven Christmas markets: the historical market outside St. Mary's Church and the family market on the banks of the Trave river, the two arts and crafts markets in the Hospital of the Holy Ghost and St. Peter's Church, and the Christmas markets on Rathausmarkt, Koberg square and on Breite Strasse. The Christmas fairytale forest at the Church of St Mary is a wonderful experience for children.
